1. Mapping the Leaf Area Index In Vineyard Using a Ground-Based LIDAR ScannerThe leaf area index (LAI) is defined as the one-sided leaf area per unit ground area and is probably the most widely used index to characterize grapevine vigour. However, direct LAI measurement requires the use of destructive leaves sampling methods which are costly and time-consuming and so are other indirect methods. Faced with these techniques, vineyard leaf area can be indirectly estimated using ground-based LIDAR sensors that scan the vines and get information about the geometry and/or structure... J. Arno, I.

3. Adoption and Non-Adoption of Precision Farming Technologies by Cotton FarmersWe used the 2009 Southern Cotton Precision Farming Survey data collected from farmers in twelve U.S. states (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia) to identify reasons on why some adopt and others do not adopt precision farming techniques. Those farmers who provided the cost as the reason for non-adoption are farmers characterized by lower education... A.K. Mishra, M. Pandit, K.P. Paudel, E. Segarra |
4. Precision Nitrogen Management Based on Nitrogen Removal in Rainfed WheatGrowers of hard red spring wheat may capture price premiums for maximizing the protein concentration of their grain. Nitrogen (N) nutrition adequacy is crucial to achieving high grain protein concentration. The objective of this study was to determine the usefulness of N removal maps by comparing grain protein, yields, and dollar returns obtained from this precision N management approach with that from conventional uniform N management. Strip plot experiments were designed to compare spatially... D.J. Bonfil, I. Mufradi, S. Asido, D.S. Long |
5. On-combine Near Infrared Spectroscopy Applied to Prediction of Grain Test WeightWhole grain near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a widely accepted method for analysis of the protein and moisture contents of grain, but is seldom applied to predict test weight. Test weight is a widely used specification for grading of wheat and predictor of flour yield. The objective of this study was to determine whether NIR spectroscopy could be used for measuring the test weight of grain. Reference grain samples of hard red spring wheat were obtained from dryland fields in the semiarid Negev... D.J. Bonfil, I. Mufradi, S. Asido, D.S. Long |
